Hello teacherel, I had LIS done seven weeks ago... and I just turned 32.I still don't feel healed, but I will tell you one thing, the pain of the fissure is way less after surgery. It doesn't feel like pooping knives anymore.
Hang in there!! Only you will know when you've had enough pain and if you want to go through surgery or not.
It doesn't seem fair, that you or any of us for that matter have to put up with this kind of pain.
I'm sad you have to go through this, but please know that there's people here that understand you, and your pains.
Anal fissures can be mentally and physically exhausting just hang in there!
